Fairmount,
You're Live.

As of today, Fairmount is officially connected to Purple Fibre, Atlantic Canada's first XGSPON network. This one neighbourhood just doubled the number of homes we can bring next-generation fibre to. Here's why that matters way beyond one address.

Big day at Purple Cow HQ. As of today, Fairmount is officially live on Purple Fibre, our own next-generation fibre network, and with this one neighbourhood joining the herd, we've just doubled the number of homes we can offer next-gen fibre to.

Welcome to the fastest internet in Atlantic Canada, Fairmount

Here's what you get when you switch to Purple Fibre:

  • Speeds up to 8 Gbps. The fastest residential internet in Atlantic Canada. Period.
  • About half the price of what Bell and Eastlink charge for slower service.
  • Built on XGSPON, the latest fibre-to-the-home tech. We were the first in Atlantic Canada to deploy it.
  • Free installation. Our tech comes out, gets you set up, and leaves. No bill for showing up.
  • No contracts. Ever. If we're not doing our job, you leave. That keeps us honest.

Built for how you actually use the internet

Speed gets the headlines, but reliability is what makes fibre feel different day to day. Purple Fibre is a dedicated glass connection running from our network right to your home. It doesn't slow down when the whole neighbourhood gets home from work. It doesn't drop when a storm rolls through. It just works.

If you work from home, that matters a lot. Video calls that don't stutter halfway through a client meeting. Big files that upload in seconds instead of minutes. A connection you can actually count on when your paycheque depends on it.

Same story if your whole family relies on the internet, which is basically every family now. Kids in Zoom classes in the morning. Someone streaming 4K on the TV. Someone else gaming online. Purple Fibre has the headroom to handle every device in the house at once without breaking a sweat.

And since your home needs more than just internet, we also offer TV and home phone. Bundle what you need, skip what you don't. All from one local company, one bill, one team you can actually reach when something goes sideways.

Why doubling our footprint matters

One area in Atlantic Canada is a good start. Two? That starts to look like a trend. And a trend is exactly what the big telcos have been trying to avoid for a long time.

Every neighbourhood we light up with Purple Fibre is one more community with a real choice for internet. And competition doesn't just help our customers. It puts pressure on Bell and Eastlink to sharpen their pricing and their service across the board. That's how prices come down in this industry: not because the incumbents suddenly decide to be generous, but because someone actually shows up and challenges them.

So the residents of Fairmount who sign up don't just get faster internet at a better price. They help push prices down for their neighbours in Halifax, in Dartmouth, in the next town over, even the ones who never end up switching to us.

Every switch to Purple Fibre is a vote. A vote for competition, for fair pricing, and for local.

Every switch sends a message

The big telcos count on inertia. You sign up once. Life gets busy. Switching feels like a hassle. So you stay, even when your bill quietly creeps up year after year and the service doesn't get any better.

But every household in Fairmount that switches to Purple Fibre is sending a very clear message: enough is enough. Nova Scotia has been paying some of the highest internet prices in the country for far too long. It doesn't have to be that way. It shouldn't be that way. And every switch is one more brick pulled out of that wall.

The bigger the herd gets, the more we can invest in the next neighbourhood, and the one after that. That's the deal. You show up for us, we keep showing up for you.

Help us spread the word

Here's something worth knowing. Purple Cow is one of the only independent companies in Canada building our own next-generation fibre network from the ground up to take on the incumbents. Most independent ISPs stick to reselling what the big guys already have. We wanted more control over speed, price, and the experience, so we're building our own.

The math is simple. The more people who join the herd, the more we can invest in the next area, and the one after that. It compounds. Word of mouth is how we've grown from day one, and it's how we're going to keep growing.

So if you love your Purple Fibre connection, tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell the neighbour on your street who's still stuck on old service. Every conversation, every referral, every recommendation you make helps us bring Purple Fibre to the next neighbourhood a little sooner. That's how Nova Scotia gets to a place where we pay fair prices for great internet.

What's next

Fairmount is milestone #2, and it won't be the last. We're already scouting where Purple Fibre goes next. If you want your neighbourhood on the shortlist, tell us. Every message, every "when are you coming to my street," every conversation with a friend who's already switched. It all adds up.

To Fairmount: welcome to the herd. Let's go.
